The beekeeper/removal guy said it would be $400 to do the relocation of the bees or to kill them entirely, either way same price. Hate to destroy any living thing, and given that honeybees are having a tough time right now, I wanted to save them. As I am about 20 miles south of Port Tampa as the crow flies and not lost, chances are high that these are Africans, or so I've been told,Tampa seems to be the point of origin for the local AHBs. My best bet might be to destroy them and start with a hive of known origin. I hate to do that but wifes parents are elderly and walk around the yard, I want to keep them safe. Hopefully I can find someone cheaper, or perhaps someone here can suggest a way to eradicate them myself? Thanks all, Ed
